What bike types can you fit?
Body Scan and Mobility Test
To prevent injuries and increase performance, it is crucial to adapt the bike to your current mobility and the way your body moves now.
Our body scan ensures that the bike fit is in harmony with your physical structure, taking your body composition into account.
Additionally, the mobility test focuses on measuring your hamstring flexibility. This provides us insight on how your flexibility will affect your cycling posture and efficiency.
Pains
Mapping your cycling-related pains and discomforts is a key part of our bike fitting process. We analyze 8 types of injuries today, and use these to customize your bike fit experience.
Using your body scan, mobility test results, and reported pains, we draw from our extensive research into bike fitting literature, collaborations with physiotherapists, and professional bike fitters to tailor your bike perfectly to your body and needs.
Bike Fit
The goal of a bike fit is to tailor your bike to your body. We achieve this by using the information you provide in your profile, place you within the desired protocol.
Bike fitting is an iterative process: we record a video of you cycling, adjust your position, and continue in this manner until the desired result is achieved.
Today, we offer adjustment suggestions on:
- Saddle height
- Saddle position (fore/aft)
- Handlebar height
- Stem length
Each adjustment comes with a clear explanation. We don't just tell you what adjustments to make; we explain why they are important.
Once within protocol, you will feel the difference a bike fit with APIIR makes!
